The Battle Against Islam

Contrary to popular misconception, Islam does not mean peace but
rather means submission to the commands of Allah alone. Therefore,
Muslims do not believe in the concept of freedom of expression, as their
speech and actions are determined by divine revelation and not based on
people's desires.

Although Muslims may not agree about the idea
of freedom of expression, even non-Muslims who espouse it say it comes
with responsibilities. In an increasingly unstable and insecure world,
the potential consequences of insulting the Messenger Muhammad are known
to Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Muslims
consider the honor of the Prophet Muhammad to be dearer to them than
that of their parents or even themselves. To defend it is considered to
be an obligation upon them. The strict punishment if found guilty of
this crime under sharia (Islamic law) is capital punishment
implementable by an Islamic State. This is because the Messenger
Muhammad said, "Whoever insults a Prophet kill him."
